Red Sea ReefMat 250/500/1200 Gearmotor - R35473
The Red Sea ReefMat 250/500/1200 Gearmotor (Part Number R35473) is a replacement motor for the Red Sea ReefMat automatic filter roller systems.
Purpose: This gearmotor is the component responsible for advancing the fleece roll in your Red Sea ReefMat filter. When the water level in the filter chamber rises due to the fleece becoming clogged, the sensor triggers the gearmotor to pull a new, clean section of fleece into place.
Compatibility: The R35473 gearmotor is a universal replacement part, meaning it works with all three sizes of the Red Sea ReefMat: the ReefMat 250, ReefMat 500, and ReefMat 1200.
Replacement Part: This is a genuine Red Sea spare part, designed to directly replace a faulty or worn-out gearmotor in your existing ReefMat drive unit.
Installation: Red Sea provides instructions and videos on how to replace this gearmotor. It typically involves removing the four rubber plugs and screws from the back of the drive unit, disconnecting the old motor, and installing the new one.
Common Issues (related to the overall ReefMat, where the motor might be a factor):
Mat not advancing: This could be due to an incorrect Left/Right setting in the ReefBeat app, improperly threaded mat, a stuck flap, or issues with the water level sensor. While the motor itself might not be the primary cause, if other troubleshooting steps fail, a faulty motor could be a possibility.
"High-water" notification: Similar to the above, this can be caused by sensor issues or incorrect drive unit settings.
Maintenance: The gearmotor itself doesn't require specific user maintenance beyond ensuring proper installation and addressing any issues that might put strain on it (like a jammed fleece roll). The drive unit has built-in mechanical and electronic protection to prevent damage from blockages.
If you are experiencing issues with your ReefMat and suspect the gearmotor, you can usually purchase the R35473 replacement part from online aquarium retailers or your local fish store that carries Red Sea products.
Note: Suitable for seawater aquariums only.
